of road warrants by issuing bonds in
lieu thereof at a rate of interest not
to exceed 5 per cent, said bonds to be
retired from a fund derived from un
collected taxes.

Nor is the pedestrian forgotten in
the remodelling. A four-foot walk,
with railing separating the walk from
the driveway, ia to be built* on either
side of the bridge and approaches. On
the bridge proper the Walk wUl be
